ECG ANALYSIS ALGORITHM
The features available with the AED include the following:
Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) and Fine Ventricular Fibrillation (FVF)
Ventricular Tachycardia with a rater higher than 150 bpm (beats per minute)
Asystole threshold less than 0.1mV
Non-Committed shock, when the rhythm changes from shockable to non shockable
.
CPR PROTOCOL
The CPR protocol is consistent with the guidelines recommended by the American Heart
Association (AHA)
1
and the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR).
1
2010 AHA Guidelines for CPR & ECC reflect global resuscitation science and treatment
recommendations derived from the 2010 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care with Treatment Recommendations
(CoSTR).
Upon detecting a shockable cardiac rhythm, the RESCUE LIFE charges automatically at a 200J
energy level and advises the operator to press the SHOCK button to deliver a shock; then
advises
the operator to check the patient pulse and start CPR for 120 seconds with a chest
compression to ventilation ratio of 30:2. If the shock is not released within 30 sec from the
indication, or the rhythm changes to non shockable, the defibrillator will discharge internally.
During CPR the ECG analysis is interrupted and the CPR time will be displayed (120 sec.).
SELECTING THE AED OPERATION MODE
To select the AED OPERATION MODE is really easy.
To enter the AED operation mode (semiautomatic) press the Speed Dial until MODE is selected
then rotate right the Speed Dial until the AED mode is displayed.
The AED OPERATION MODE can be set entering only the disposable Pads or entering the
2
nd

entered.
If a patient is monitored with other derivations, remember to select the 2
nd
one through
speed dial for changing to the AED OPERATION MODE.
Using the disposable pads, please select the Pads Derivation.
At switch on the defibrillator, by default, is set to the MANUAL mode.
